Re the Irish supporters...you better believe that if they regularly beat the English 2-0, they'd let them know about it. It's about a healthy rivalry.
Without a doubt it was the highest % of US fans for a Mexico match. We've had some WCQs in the past that were close to 100% pro US. Costa Rica in...
The reason we played it there was altitude. We played at Azteca a few days later. Plus, a week before the match it was 70 degrees in Denver....
So you're saying you'd rather have Torres or Corona?
Generally speaking, Mexican American dual nationals have greater value to the US. A player like Torres would probably have very few caps if he...
Best place for us to host a WC game is the best place for us to host a game period...Seattle. In a WC, interest would be so high that we'd have...
2-0
Charlie Davies is more of a crash, than a flop or bust. Sorry had to. It's got to be Adu, but he's still so relatively young that he could...
I expect this event to have a draw, then they announce the venues later. I don't think they'll leave it to a blind draw. They don't want Brazil...
Been to my fair share of home WCQs (and if I missed them, I watched it on tv of course) since 96. Here's my list of memorable pro-US crowds....
Anyone else annoyed that US Soccer has been continually bringing out singers to lead us in the national anthem, as is done is traditional US...
I have no doubt Columbus would give us a good crowd for the Mexico match. In 2001 and 2005, Columbus was the only place where we could really...
Agreed on the timing. If it's during winter, Portland weather will be more mild. My main point is I don't buy into concepts like "mojo". CLB...
My thoughts... I just don't agree with the notion of why mess with a good thing. Yes, they haven't beaten us in CLB yet, but there's no doubt...
I've followed team closely for 25 years. I think Twellman was the biggest snub. In my book, snub = coach saying you weren't good enough. In 98,...
If we beat Mexico with a bunch of Mexican Americans on the team that Mexico decided they didn't want, it will resonate with Mexico fans in this...
I agree. I just think the Fed is going to put a match there. Haiti would be even worse. I think you'd get 15k US fans and 10k Guats.
This may be a controversial sentiment, but IMO, the fake grass and narrow pitch makes Portland a plus for playing Mexico. I'm also not a "if it...
Semifinal Round: Jamaica - Seattle Guatemala - Harrison Haiti - Kansas City Hex (projected opponents): Mexico - Portland Canada- Tampa...
Put Mexico in Portland. People have to realize that by far the biggest factor in getting a home field advantage vs Mexico is the ability to...
Simply because the Mexican fanbase is so strong. I'd argue Mexico has the best fanbase in World Soccer. The Rose Bowl was sold out for Mexico's...
There's no disagreement that Bornstein was horrendous. Two points I want to make. Cherundolo was our best player throughout the GC, but the...
All I can say is the posters who ever try to simply this complicated issue are clueless. You can never make a blanket statement about citzenship,...
There's been some great moments in Gaucho Soccer over the last decade, but Waid getting to be the hero and scorer of the game winning goal in our...
I predict he ends up on that lower division Mexican club Eric Wynalda now scouts for.
